As if things weren’t bad enough already… Now, I’m no expert in Revelations or Nostradamus or any future-teller you might bring up, but I’ve just got to believe that Ratzinger getting elected Pope is one of the signs of the Apocalypse. Could they pick a more divisive, conservative, non-unifying person? Well, probably, but most of those folks are already in the Bush administration, and are not Cardinals to boot.
I thought I’d just put together a little comparison of our little dictator and the new Catholic dictator. Let’s see how they stack up:
| Bush | Ratzinger | ||
| AWOL National Guard | AWOL German soldier | ||
| Ultra conservative | Ultra conservative | ||
| Thinks he is God | Thinks he’s conduit to God | ||
| Wants 280 million people to worship him | Has 1 billion worshipping him | ||
| Trying to start his own inquisition | Leader of the Inquisition | ||
| Trying to reinstitute anachronistic, repressive regime that suppresses women’s rights, minority rights, and civil liberties | Rules anachronistic, repressive regime that suppresses women’s rights and civil liberties | ||
| Bad for the World | Bad for the World |
I’m still waiting for some good news…
